Zoe Papadimitriou

About

With ink-stained fingers and a phoenix tattoo whispering of wilder days, Zoe blends cocktails like symphonies and brews coffee with the precision of a former circus performer. Behind her practiced smile lurks a kaleidoscope of stories from Mediterranean nights and high-wire adventures, each drink a liquid memoir of reinvention.

Backstory

The acrid smell of smoke filled Zoe's lungs as she watched the circus tent collapse, the roar of the flames drowning out the screams. She had chosen to save the lion cubs over her own escape, a decision that left her with a phoenix tattoo, a constant reminder of the lives lost and the ones she saved. After wandering aimlessly, she found solace in a small town, where she opened a unique barista-bartending shop, her fingers forever stained with ink from her sketches and the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans. On her first day, a stray dog with a patch of fur missing from a burn wound followed her home, and Zoe named him Biscuit, keeping him by her side ever since. A small lion's head charm, a gift from Leo, the lion tamer who had once stolen her heart, hung around her neck, a secret memento of her past life.
